The Clarindo who only wrote for a living is perhaps Andrés de Claramonte, but ultimately that's not at all certain, for nothing proves that Claramonte was the only poet to have taken Clarindo as a nom de plume; nothing proves, either, that the authors of the three plays didn’t use the name Clarindo in reference to someone other than Claramonte.

In the case of Carlo Lorenzini (better known under his nom de plume, Collodi (1826–1890), it’s his work Pinocchio that enjoyed worldwide fame, to the detriment of its author (see Montecatini Terme, p. 306).
